Now Cyber Attacks are keywords being used by the government! Duh!!!!
Once upon a time we never locked our
doors and trusted all around us. They
say locks are for honest people and
that is a pure fact! Even having an
alarm company monitoring your home or business tells you only one thing, the
time they broke in. It does not stop the
vicious criminal who has no scruples and wants what you have worked hard for
and own.
If someone wanted to know more about
you, they had to steal your wallet or pocketbook. We kept everything about us on our person, sought of close to our chest, so to speak. Today, 2015, your mobile phone has more detail than you could keep in a security box at the bank and even that is susceptible to theft too! Oh believe me, the days of Charles Dickens’s Fagan, from Oliver Twist are alive and well.
Ask the
Metropolitan Police regarding the Romanian Pick Pockets Gangs that invaded
London this summer and caused a volatile increase in identity theft and credit
card fraud. The inconvenience cost alone
are staggering and the time it takes to rectify the situation is astronomical!
History continues to repeat itself
and taking what is not yours is more prevalent than ever. The methods of infiltration have grown
exponentially and electronic technology has given a new gateway for the wanton
thieves to exercise their craft.
In data
silos of the corporate world sits billions and billions of information on
individuals, corporate account information and hidden secrets on products,
people and proprietary technology. All
being attacked via Email Phishing and Attacks by Hackers tied to
individuals, corporations and nations that want what is rightfully yours, that personal
and corporate information.
At least 2 million people received an
email notifying them that an order they had just made on
"Walmart's" website was being processed, though none of them had done
any such thing.
Still,
thousands of people clicked on the link in the email, taking many of them to a
harmless Google search results page for "Walmart." Others weren't so
fortunate. The link led to the invisible download of malware that covertly
infected their personal computers, turning them into remotely controlled robots
for hackers, according to a security firm.
These sorts of "phishing" attacks are not only
becoming more common but also are getting more lethal, with fake emails
becoming harder to distinguish from real ones.
What if one of your
employees opens such an email sent to their corporate account?
The sophisticated attacks are
targeting the likes of attorneys, oil executives and managers at military
contractors. The phishers are increasingly trying to get proprietary documents
and pass codes to access company and government databases.
Nearly
every incident of online espionage involved some sort of a phishing
attack, according to a survey compiled by Verizon Communications Inc., the
nation's largest wireless carrier.
Several
recent breaches at financial institutions, media outlets and in the video game
industry have started with someone's log-in information being entered on a
false website that was linked to in an email.
When an Associated Press staff
member received an email in April that appeared to be from a colleague, the
individual didn't hesitate to click on the link. But that link led to the
installation of a "key logger" that enabled a hacker to monitor
keystrokes and see the password for the Associated Press' Twitter account.
The hacker
posted a tweet from the account saying that someone had bombed the White House.
As investors reacted to the tweet, the S&P 500 index's value fell $136
billion. The parody news site the Onion fell prey to a similar, though less
costly attack.
All of the above was extremely
expensive in time, money and valuable information stolen from you and placing
you in an extremely vulnerable position.
I believe you get the protected picture!
The clock is ticking and it is not
if you get attacked, it is when! Just like Margret
Thatcher stated regarding terrorism, we (the
government and individuals) have to be right all the time, the terrorist, (phisher or hacker), has to be right
only once!
